Mont is right, most of the settings are binary based, meaning on/off based, there are some that are different, for instance, crosshair style and the colors, tried to fool around with those settings but it never changed anything so...

Well to be honest, your skill has actually gotten better, not with the help of these files...

For one, this is a .txt file, meaning it's only read by the game, and the game corrects the file every time the game starts, so it may say what it says in the .txt, but it technically can't do anything to the game, it's more of a guideline to what it should be doing.

If it were a .ini file then this would work, as I think .ini means initialization file, meaning when a game starts up, it reffers to the file and what that file says, it starts up that way.

As I said, the .txt just guides it, so it will reffer to there every now and then to make sure the game is at what it's meant to be at.

But, I do believe with people THINKING it worked, they would have their skill increased, because they believe that they can actually do better with this. Sure, I have a 1.05 k/d legit, but heck, I rather try and get skill with this kind of thing, than a hack, but hacking makes it more fun
